Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
14 inch lights were used primarily for the No Right/Left Turn lights and typically didn't feature backgrounds as a result. The only exception was WCH, who used/uses a standard 12 inch light-head, and as such, most of their signals of this type feature backgrounds.dan the ca railfan wrote:nice find!freebrickproductions wrote:14x30 inch light???![]()
